Louvre Museum
Mona Lisa's home
The Louvre Museum is the world's largest and most visited art museum, housed in a historic palace in Paris.
Its collection spans thousands of years, from ancient civilizations to the mid-nineteenth century, and includes the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.
The glass pyramid entrance, added in 1989, has become iconic.
Often shortened to the Louvre: We spent all day at the Louvre.
